@Karol I know that @Alex and @Giles has referenced capacity issues in the past and am quoting one of G’s responses. There are excellent suggestions made all of the time, brought forth on items to be made or remade, but there is only so much that can be done with limited resources.
@Giles said in Samples - New Products We Are Working On:
During the lockdown in Japan virtually all foreign workers went home and were not allowed back in. So mills and factories have been running at approx 60% capacity for a couple of years.
Japan is opening up again now, so things will get better.
How we fix this as a company was one of the major talking points when @alex and I were in Japan a couple of weeks ago.
One of the factories that makes a lot of of our stuff was remarkable. They have built a lot of housing onsite for the foreign staff, they have individual kitchens in each apartment and a massive communal kitchen. They also have a massive vegetable garden so produce can be grown on site. Alex and I were totally blown away with the care that the owner of the factory and his wife took of their "family"….

We are officially at full capacity in all our workshops.
...and still can't make everything we hope, dream, and suggest. Capacity is capacity and there is only so much time, people, and machinery to make the things that we want. It's a good thing to dream, but sometimes reality dictates otherwise.
